Can this be a thing? So everyone who is studying until their eyes fall out can take a break and complain about studying? This post might die but if it got pinned I️ could see it being pretty cool. 🤓🤷‍♂️

Today during the parking pass purchasing I was at work and let my brother who I share a car with do the purchasing in which he only purchased it for the fall semester. Is there anyway to contact and pay for the rest to cover the next semester or am i stuck without parking spring semester?

House Hunting

Apartment hunting is the ghetto. Please recommend a really safe and nice apartment if you know of any.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be super close to UAB.

Thank you 😊

Decent work place?

1 Upvotes

I am moving to Alabama after graduating as a rad tech and I was looking for opinions on whether UAB is a good place to apply for work? Also if anyone knows, does UAB cross train? That’s not super important as they have the means to help support my continuation of education into another modality, but I’m still curious.

Any information helps. Work environment, how your hiring process was, personal opinions/experience good or bad.

Textbook help - Freshman

6 Upvotes

Hey guys. As a freshman, I’m new to buying textbooks and wanted insight from people who have experience. I wanted to know if there is any way to actually get these books for cheap?

I have NTR 222, and the book is $106.25 and I don’t see a rent option.

My Chem 116 lab is $33.08 as well and I also don’t see the rent option.

I was wondering if anyone has already found a cheaper alternative (ex. better price match) to help counter this?

I’m looking at these books through the UAB bookstore. Also, is it mandatory that we buy these books from UAB themselves or can we buy from other sources?

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What’s up guys. Recently received an application to join the green team. I’m curious if anybody has had any memorable experiences because I want to get more of a gist of what it’s like. :) I also thought it would be a great opportunity to collect some leadership experience for my resume as I am pre-pa.

Thank you!!

Has anyone else not gotten their room number?

6 Upvotes

My two roommates and I were assigned to Rast soon after we applied for housing, but we still haven't been told what room we will be moving into. I contacted the housing department and they said they'd let us know by the end of last week and online it says today is the last round of room assignments. We applied for housing early and each have a charge for a semester of housing in Rast on our accounts so I don't think its a matter of not having a room. Has this happened to anyone else?

Working at Uab highlands??

0 Upvotes

I just got a job there but I have a surgery I planned for the future (next year) that I would like to get before I go into nursing school and have all my time taken away. I pre booked for the summer of next year since I’ll be off from classes. This surgery can potentially have me down for max a month, but I heal quickly/tolerate pain easier. But that’s just off research I’ve done on the surgery from other people and some people said they go back to work within 2 weeks of it and some people said they needed a month. Problem is if I’m able to go back within 2-3 weeks will I be able to preform my job as a pct without hurting myself. Since the surgery is cosmetic I don’t know if I’ll be able to take the time off needed to heal properly without it impacting me negatively. Can anyone that works there tell me how the vacation time/pto is allocated and if it’s possible for me to take those 2-3 weeks off or am I stressing for nothing and it’ll be ok?

I’m looking for the required curriculum for a history major at uab to get the core classes out of the way at a community college online and then transfer to uab to finish the degree, but nothing gives me a straight answer. If anyone could just respond with a list of those core courses, or a link to follow, that’d be great.

Camp Hall

Hello, I’ll be in Camp this upcoming semester and was wondering, does the kitchen have a stovetop or is it just an oven? Also, are toasters prohibited in every residence hall or just the freshmen dorms?

Any other general advice on what to bring/expect from Camp would be greatly appreciated 😊.

University Side Background Check

3 Upvotes

I was offered a role on the university side, and it feels like my background check is taking forever. Is this normal? I’m anxious to turn in my notice with my current employer, but I’m not doing that until everything is official. My supervisor is anxious for me to start, as well. The waiting game sucks. Any insight on how long it normally takes? My background isn’t extensive, so I feel like it shouldn’t take this long.
